From the Back Cover
One hundred years ago, the company that would become IBM took its first steps into an unknown future. In Making the World Work Better: The Ideas That Shaped a Century and a Company, journalists Kevin Maney, Steve Hamm and Jeffrey M. O&;Brien tell a story of progress that illuminates, and transcends, the rich history of a single enterprise.
Through extensive research, they explore IBM&;s impact on technology, on the evolving role of the modern corporation and on the way our world literally works. Most intriguingly, they uncover a set of compelling ideas whose greatest impact may lie not in the previous century, but in the next one&;ideas with the power to shape a surprising future, and to change the way we think.
